In praise of awesome doctors and medicaid

So medicaid sucks for dental, but this is what socialized medicine cando. For at least the last 2 years I've been suffering from seriousfatigue and pain. I wake up and it's like I've been beaten with a bagof rocks before I even get out of bed. Doing anything, taking ashower, grocery shopping, washing dishes etc was like climbingeverest. I have a family full of fibromyalgia sufferers. I thoughtthat all I would get was the hard side eye from doctors, or a Rx fornarcotics that would dull my brain. But I lucked out and my doc hashit me with a multitude of minimal side effect treatments and a monthin I'm 75% better. I walked 2 miles today. I'm in a shit ton of painnow, but 2 miles is like running a marathon compared to a month ago. 2years of suffering with no insurance. One month with insurance and Iam a mostly productive person again. Go figure.(YMMV of course, butI'm shocked as shit that the first round of treatment is working sowell. I've never seen that happen with fibro).

Red Queen Says

Modesty is for people with nothing to brag about. You may catch more flies with honey but why the hell do you want to catch flies. Life isn’t fair, so you have to work your ass off to make it fairer. The worst insult is not to be called a ‘bitch” or a “cunt” but to be called a “coward” or “nice”. Fortunately, no one has ever had a reason to call me a coward and we won’t talk about what happened to the only person that ever called me a “nice girl”.
